Everybody's got a different idea of what it means for a library to be "friendly" and "fully-featured" though. It's probably better to keep the standard library as minimal as possible in order to avoid enshrining bad software. Programming languages could have curated "standard distributions" instead that include all the commonly used "best practice" libraries at the time.

That situation should be avoided. People should have to create their own libraries until everyone empirically converges into a de facto standard that can then be made official.
That isn't really what was proposed, and is an unnecessarily snarky way to respond.
